Hong Kong’s Antiquity Windows
.
Nestled within the architectural tapestry of Hong Kong, the antiquity windows of the Qing dynasty, as exemplified by those at the Sam Tung Uk Museum, are more than mere apertures; they are a masterful fusion of form and function.
.
Characterised by their elegant grids and intricate geometric patterns, these windows are not only functional as they facilitate ventilation and light, they often incorporating auspicious symbols, reflecting profound traditional Chinese craftsmanship and beliefs.
.
The architectural design of Sam Tung Uk Musuem, a restored Hakka walled village, perfectly showcases this heritage, where these windows served as a vital interface between the communal living spaces and the outer world, embodying a harmonious balance of practical necessity and sophisticated cultural artistry.
